Bill > HF3005

This bill provides funding and establishes reporting requirements for Metro Meals on Wheels, a nonprofit organization that supports veterans. Specifically, the bill appropriates $497,500 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of veterans affairs, who will then grant the money to Metro Meals on Wheels. The grant funds are intended to support two primary activities: providing home-delivered meals to veterans and offering technical assistance, enrollment support, outreach, and volunteer recruitment help to member programs. As a condition of receiving the funds, Metro Meals on Wheels must submit detailed reports to the commissioner of veterans affairs and legislative committee chairs by September 1st of each respective fiscal year. These reports must explain how the grant money was used and provide the number of veterans and service members served by the program. The bill emphasizes that this is a one-time appropriation, meaning the funding is not guaranteed in future years beyond the specified fiscal periods.
